bridge: mcast: add support for more router port information dumping
Allow for more multicast router port information to be dumped such as timer and type attributes. For that that purpose we need to extend the MDBA_ROUTER_PORT attribute similar to how it was done for the mdb entries recently. The new format is thus: [MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { <- nested attribute u32 ifindex <- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility [MDBA_ROUTER_PATTR attributes] } This way it remains compatible with older users (they'll simply retrieve the u32 in the beginning) and new users can parse the remaining attributes. It would also allow to add future extensions to the router port without breaking compatibility. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
